Over the past 30 years I’ve written columns on a lot of subjects, but I don’t recall doing one on armadillos. Well, their time has come.

I read with great interest Karen Smoke’s article in The Arcadian a few weeks back about these little armored critters, and how they weren’t so bad after all. And then last week I read with interest Carol Mahler’s article about them, and how they weren’t so good after all. Both these women are friends of mine, as well as being friends with each other, and I’m not sure if they were doing a point-counterpoint kind of thing (think “Dueling Articles” and imagine banjo music), but couldn’t resist weighing in.
